I am replacing the transmission for my 2004 disco... My drive shaft broke and smashed the tranny housing...I was able to get a low mileage 2003 transmission for a good price, but didn't get the transmission control module... Will I have to reprogram the existing module for it to work? The Land Rover deal said absolutly and the salvage yard said that with the 03-05 I have about a 50/50 chance that it will work fine. HELP... I have spent enough on this already

Thanks!

 

It will work fine.

 

Is that a promise

 

My dads friend worked at land rover for 14 years and he said it should work at long as it's not a 2005... Has anyone done a tranny swap on here?

Thanks!

 

03 and 04 both use the same ZF, you'll be fine.

 

2005 isn't a DII it's an LR3 here in the states and a DIII in the rest of the world so there's no reason why it should work if it's a 2005. You wouldn't expect a 1997 DI transmission to work in a 2004 DII, would you?

 

Listen to this guy.

 

I know the 05 wasn't a disc 2... just repeating that he said it should work from a 03 into a 04... has anyone done the swap? Was the module in fact compatible?

 

Let's see, your asked if it would work and a certified Land Rover master mechanic as well as an employee of Rovers North, one of the largest Rover parts specialist in the US said it would but you want a promise???

You cite a former employee of Land Rover who doesn't know the difference between a DII and an LR3 and a salvage yard as your sources. I think I'd put more stock in Chris and Zack but I didn't know responses on these forums needed to come with a promise.

 

Jeez, take a joke there buddy... the "promise" comment was just a little excitement that this POS might be fixed for the 2000 I was quoted without having to to pay extra to have the TCM flashed... man, I forgot how superior the d bags who always comment on every thread were on these auto sites... I'll stick to the Harley forums where people aren't such stuck up ******... no need to take yourself so seriously, trust me, no one else does... Land Rovers suck by the way... can't wait to get it fixed and trade it towards a f250...
